[Verse 1: Tomi Joutsen]

Close your eyes now

And give in to the night

Soar above the stars

Forget what's behind

Don't stare up at the setting sun

Or the light of dawn



[Chorus: Anneke van Giersbergen]

Follow the thread of gold

Drift on its tide

It's a path of stars

Ride on the golden stream

And break the waves

In a gilded trail of stars



[Tomi Joutsen & Anneke van Giersbergen in turns]

Rise, Rise

Above the golden way of stars

Rise, Rise

Beyond the trail of stars



[Verse 2: Tomi Joutsen]

The light will lure you

To lands forged by demise

To the shores of death

The blooming meadows

Seduce and intoxicate

With a deceiving scent



[Chorus: Anneke van Giersbergen]

Follow the thread of gold

Drift on its tide

It's a path of stars

Ride on the golden stream

And break the waves

In a trail of stars



[Verse 3: Anneke van Giersbergen]

I've seen the lights up in the sky

Like beacons from another shore

So don't look back, don't look a head

Just close your eyes, give in to the night



[Verse 4: Tomi Joutsen]

Close your eyes

And give in to the night

Soar above the stars

The blooming meadows

Seduce and intoxicate

With a deceiving scent



[Chorus: Anneke van Giersbergen]

Follow the thread of gold

Drift on its tide

It's a path of stars

Ride on the golden stream

And break the waves

In a gilded trail of stars



[Tomi Joutsen & Anneke van Giersbergen in turns]

Rise, rise, rise

Above the golden way of stars

Rise, rise, rise

Beyond the trail of stars
